You can put this solution on YOUR website! A train 1 km long is travelling at a constant speed of 20 km/hour. It enters the tunnel which is 1 km long at 1:00 p.m. At what time does the rear of the train emerge from the tunnel?
***
travel time=distance/speed
distance=length of tunnel+length of train=1+1=2 km
travel time=2/20=1/10 of an hour or 6 min
At what time does the rear of the train emerge from the tunnel? 1:06 p.m.
